trx-gas-saver[.]live

This domain is flagged as an elevated-risk brand impersonation threat specifically targeting Aave, a decentralized finance protocol. The infrastructure was designed to deceive users into interacting with fraudulent interfaces, likely facilitating unauthorized transactions or asset drainage under the guise of legitimate Aave services.

Analysis indicates the domain trx-gas-saver.live was registered through Spaceship, Inc. on February 21, 2026, and resolved to IP address 188.114.96.3, hosted on Cloudflare's network (AS13335). The SSL certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), a common tactic to lend superficial legitimacy. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged the domain at a rate of 16/95, and it appeared on one blocklist, specifically PhishDestroy. The page title, 'Suspected phishing site | Cloudflare,' further corroborates its malicious classification, though the domain is currently offline.

Mitigation for this brand impersonation threat requires heightened vigilance from Aave users and platform administrators. Users should verify domain authenticity by cross-referencing official Aave communication channels and avoiding interactions with unsolicited links or gas-saving claims. Administrators are advised to monitor for similar domain registrations, particularly those using Aave-related keywords or typosquatting variations, and proactively submit suspicious domains to security blocklists. Given the elevated risk of asset loss, users who may have interacted with this domain should revoke any connected wallet permissions and audit transaction histories for unauthorized activity.
